Financially, the place is aggressively vintage. Think museum-grade budgeting. Salary raises are symbolic gestures, best suited for dwarfs. HR? A fascinating collection of individuals whose core competencies include gaslighting workshops, passive-aggressive communication, and hiring their mates. Those glowing online reviews? Ah yes, it's the team’s extracurricular creative-writing practice. The only way to escape is by running down the stairs, because the elevator reached the retirement age and you can get stuck on your way to freedom.
